Definitions

  • the present invention relates to switch mechanisms for use on power tools and, in particular, to switch mechanisms for improving control of the output of power tools.
  • Electric drills and electric screwdrivers are well known in the art. It is also known to combine an electric drill with an electric screwdriver to produce a power tool resembling a conventional electric drill with added features to enable slow and controlled screw driving speeds in both rotational directions.
  • a drill-driver is shown in Figure 1.
  • This drill-driver comprises a body having a drill head portion and a handle portion fixed at approximately right-angle to the drill head portion.
  • the drill head portion encapsulates an electric motor and a gearbox and the handle portion defines a conventional pistol grip to be grasped by the user.
  • the handle portion comprises a variable speed trigger switch for activating and controlling the rotational speed of the rotary output of the motor.
  • the handle portion also comprises a direction selector switch for controlling the rotational direction of the rotary output when the output is activated by the trigger switch.
  • the direction selector switch has a forward push button and a reverse push button located on opposite side of the handle to the forward push button. The push buttons are both round.
  • the direction selector switch can slide between three in-line positions; forward rotation position, central zero rotation position and reverse rotation position. When the direction selector switch is in the forward rotation position depression of the trigger switch causes the rotary output to rotate clockwise to drive a screw or drill bit "forward" into a work piece.
  • this direction selector switch is a reliable mechanism for controlling the rotational direction of the rotary output, a user cannot be relied upon to depress the correct push button of the direction selector switch. This is because the push buttons formed as a simple round shape which gives no indication of the intended purpose of either push button. As such, the user may easily mistake the forward push button for the reverse push button, or vise versa. Attempts have also been made to improve the utilage of the direction selector switch by adding a forward sign to the forward push button and a reverse sign to the reverse push button. However, such signs are necessarily small to fit on the head of the push button and the user must stop work and read the signs before operating the direction selector switch. Over time these markings may also be obscured, damaged or removed from the push buttons.
  • a switch mechanism for assisting accurate control of a power tool, which power tool comprises a variable output controlled by the switch mechanism characterised in that the shape of at least one part of the switch mechanism which is activated by a user indicates the manner in which the switch mechanism controls the output when that part of the switch mechanism is activated.
  • the switch mechanism may be an electrical switch, a mechanical switch or an electromechanical switch.
  • the power tool may be a portable or stationary power tool with a rotating, reciprocating or vibrating output.
  • the variation in the output value may be on/off, variable speed or variable frequency.
  • the part of the switch mechanism activated by the user may be a button, lever or a wheel.
  • the part of the switch mechanism activated by the user gives a tactile or clearly visible indication to a user of the manner in which the switch mechanism controls the output when that part of the switch mechanism is activated.
  • This indication may be in the form of a raised and indelible marking moulded into the at least one part of the switch mechanism which is activated by a user.
  • this indication may be given by the shape and/or orientation of the at least one part of the switch mechanism which is activated by a user.
  • the switch mechanism controls the output by moving between a plurality of switch positions and the output is variable between a plurality of output values, each one of the plurality of switch positions corresponding to a respective output value.
  • one switch mechanism can perform several functions by controlling a plurality of different output values.
  • the at least one part of the switch mechanism comprises a plurality of buttons and the switch mechanism is moved to any one of the plurality of switch positions by activation of a respective button, each one of the plurality of buttons corresponding to a respective output value.
  • a button can easily adopt an irregular shape without effecting the button's performance.
  • a button can be moulded into the shape of an arrow, to indicate direction, or a cross, to indicate stop. Buttons can be moulded into many other shapes. In any case, an irregularly shaped button can operated in the same manner as a regular shaped button.
  • each one of the plurality of buttons is shaped to indicate a respective corresponding output value.
  • the user is given a clear visual and tactile indication of the output value resulting from activation of a corresponding button.
  • the at least one part of the switch mechanism comprises two push buttons and the switch mechanism is moved to a corresponding switch position by depression of one of the two push buttons.
  • the plurality of switch positions comprises a forward switch position corresponding to a forward output value, a central switch position corresponding to a zero output value, and a reverse switch position corresponding to a reverse output value.
  • the two push buttons comprise a forward button shaped as a forward orientated arrow head and a reverse button shaped as a reverse orientated arrow head. Depression of the forward button moves the switch mechanism to the forward switch position and depression of the reverse button moves the switch mechanism to the reverse switch position. Movement of the switch mechanism into the forward or reverse switch positions need not mean than the output is activated. However, if the output is activated and the switch mechanism is in the forward switch position then the output value will be the forward output value.
  • the forward output value corresponds to a rotary output rotating in a clockwise direction to drive a screw or drill bit "forward" into a work piece.
  • a forward button shaped as a forward orientated arrow head gives a user a clear visual and tactile indication of the effect on the output value of depressing the forward button.
  • the output Conversely, if the output is activated and the switch mechanism is in the reverse switch position then the output value will be the reverse output value.
  • the reverse output value corresponds to a rotary output rotating in an anti-clockwise direction to "reverse" a screw or drill bit out of a work piece.
  • a reverse button shaped as a reverse orientated arrow head gives a user a clear visual and tactile indication of the effect on the output value of depressing the reverse button.
  • the central switch position is located between the forward switch position and the reverse switch position.
  • the switch mechanism can be moved to the central switch position by depressing the forward button half way between the reverse switch position and the forward switch position, or vice versa. This has the advantage that the switch mechanism requires only two buttons for operation between three switch positions.
  • the power tool comprises a second switch for controlling the output.
  • the switch mechanism can control one aspect of the output value, like for example, the direction of the output, whilst the second switch controls another aspect of the output value like, for example, speed or frequency of the output.
  • the second switch may be an electric switch, a mechanical switch or an electromechanical switch. More preferably control of the output value by the second switch is interdependent with the switch position of the switch mechanism. In this case, the switch mechanism and the second switch are coupled together so that the position of the switch mechanism can effect how the second switch controls the output value and vice versa.
  • the switch mechanism and the second switch may be, for example, electrically coupled or mechanically coupled by a link mechanism or interlock.
  • the switch mechanism is direction selector switch and the second switch is an electrical power switch.
  • a power tool shown generally as (2) is a drill-driver comprising a substantially cylindrical drill head (4) having a longitudinal axis X and an elongate handle (6) arranged about a longitudinal axis Y.
  • the drill head (4) is pivotally mounted upon the handle (6) and pivots relative to the handle (6) about an axis Z.

  • the drill head (4) comprises an electric motor (16) and a transmission gearbox (not shown) with an output spindle (20).
  • the motor (16) and the gearbox are housed inside the drill head (4).
  • the front end of the drill head (4) comprises a cylindrical gear casing (22) surrounding the gearbox and the output spindle (20).
  • the motor (16) is rotatingly coupled to the gearbox such that rotary motion of the motor (16) is transferred to the output spindle (20) via the gearbox.

  • the output spindle (20) and the coupling (24) protrude through a hole (26) in the gear casing (22).
  • the output spindle (20) and the coupling (24) rotate about the axis (x).
  • the coupling (24) releasably connects the output spindle (20) to a tool (28) having a conventional hexagonal shank arrangement.
  • a conventional chuck can be attached to the end portion of the output spindle (20) for connection to a tool (28).
  • the handle (8) comprises a button (30) fixed to a variable speed electrical switch (32).
  • the switch (32) is electrically coupled to a power source (34).
  • the switch (32) is also electrically coupled to the motor (16) by two electrical wires (36,38).
  • the switch (32) is thermally coupled to a heat sink (39) located inside the handle (6).
  • the heat sink (39) is for dissipating excess heat energy created by the internal components of the switch (32).
  • the switch (32) is biased into an OFF position wherein the switch (32) interrupts electrical connection between the power source (38) and the motor (16) such that the motor (16) is denergised and the output spindle (20) does not rotate.
  • Depression of the button (30) moves the switch (32) to an ON position wherein the switch (32) makes electrical connection between the power source (34) and the motor (16).
  • the motor (20) is energised by the electrical current from the power source (34) and the output spindle (20) starts to rotate. Electrical current flowing from the power source (34) to the motor (16) is thus controlled by the switch (32) and is proportional to how far the button (30) is depressed.
  • the switch (32) increases so does flow of electrical current to the motor (16) causing a corresponding increase in the rotational speed of the output spindle (20), and vice versa.
  • the switch (32) returns to the OFF position to interrupt the electrical connection between the power source (34) and the motor (16) thus causing denergision of the motor (16).

  • the arm (64) can pivot between a forward position, a central position and a reverse position. Pivotal movement of the arm (64) from its forward position to its reverse position, and vice versa, causes the switch (32) to change the polarity of the electrical wires (36,38), as explained in more detail below.

  • depression of the forward button (42) slides the direction selector (40) and the upper spigot (56) in one direction thereby rotating the barrel (48) about its axis.
  • Rotation of the barrel (48) moves the lower spigot (58) in the opposite direction thereby pivoting the arm (64) into its forward position.
  • Depression of the reverse button (44) reverses this sequence and causes the arm (64) to pivot from its forward position to its reverse position.
  • the direction selector's buttons (42,44) are arrow-head shaped.
  • the apex of the forward button (42) points forward to give the user a visual and tangible indication that depression of the forward button (42) causes the output spindle (20) to rotate in a clockwise direction (i.e. the rotational direction causing a screw or drill bit to be driven "forward" into a work piece) when the switch (32) is in the ON position.
  • the apex of the reverse button (44) points backward to give the user a visual and tangible indication that depression of the reverse button (42) causes the output spindle (20) to rotate in an anti-clockwise direction when the switch (32) is in the ON position.
  • the power source is a rechargeable battery pack (34) housed inside the bottom of the handle (6). To improve the electrical charge of the battery pack (34), thereby increasing operating life, the battery pack (34) is relatively bulky causing the handle (6) to protrude on the side of the switch button (30).
